National Grid Failures Continue as Abia Runs Independent Power

While Nigeria’s national grid collapsed three times recently, plunging millions into darkness, parts of Abia State experienced uninterrupted electricity after disconnecting from the national grid. The development has renewed debate over the decentralisation of Nigeria’s electricity market following the Electricity Act 2023, which allows states to generate and distribute power independently. Supporters say Abia’s experience shows how localised power systems can improve reliability, while critics point to the heavy infrastructure costs and the need for strong private investment before other states can follow. Power analyst and Managing Director of IDFON Power, Idowu Oyebanjo, joins the discussion to assess whether this model can realistically transform Nigeria’s electricity sector.
